6. Within the Add Spot Channel dialogue, enter the following information:
• Name – Enter the name "Spot 1" or "Spot 2". This name is specifically reserved in RIP-Queue
for this type of workflow, using any other name requires more steps to make spot information
addressed by the Rip software.
Note: For instructions on how to use a naming convention other than Spot 1 or Spot 2, refer to
the sub-section at the end of this section "How to Name Your Spot Data".
• Opacity – Set the opacity to 10%
• Edit the channel COLOUR by double-clicking on the swatch. Set the spot colour in PhotoShop
to a colour similar to the spot ink in your printer. Since white can be hard to distinguish, this
COLOUR can be any value that will help you see the design better.
